Abstract: This article comments on a study to explore the oral examination of the Membership of the Royal College of General Practitioners in Great Britain. A sample of oral examinations were videoed, and examiners asked immediately afterwards to recall in detail, using the video, how they reached a decision on the grade to award the candidate. Several questions arise in mind regarding this method, given the complexity and difficulties of the decision-making process. First impressions appeared to be made rapidly. In case of orals, examiners do not tend to change their opinions over the course of time. Carrying judgements over from one question to the next is also important. Finally, examiners' opinions appear to be influenced by candidates being slow to respond, or appearing nervous. In conclusion, given the complexities of decision-making, authors have made a very reasoned attempt to look at the process by which examiners make judgments on candidates' answers to oral questions.
